Welcome back and "Change the Forum Style?"

[benheck]

I like Hatrix design, though the larger text things need to be smaller.

I dunno, you guys want to do a competition, and I pick the winner?

I added a transparent N64 temporarily until I find some real wireframe consoles, since it looks a little wireframe anyway even though it's not.

I removed the white seperators from the natural theme and made the category text stand out a bit more with a highlight and a seperator.

Pros and cons please... And can anyone find any wireframe consoles? Any will do...

[Rekarp]

I can make some if you want me to. What do you want? NES? SNES? Atari? Also what color wireframe? I could do a blue wireframe for that authentic blueprint look. I can start on them after my last class today.

[EnterTheHatrix]

I want wireframe like it has been designed in CAD or something, not just an outline.. If you can do that, then solid back would be great, I can use that.

I think this one I made is pretty cool. The alignment of some stuff is messed up, but I think you'll still get the idea.

[benheck]

Ah, I like Iam7805's! It needs a bit of work, but looks almost exactly like the main site.

Does it actually work or is this just a mock-up?

Maybe we could use Hatrix's top logo (with the wireframe, although I think the N64 is fine, depsite how hard it is to hack) and the rest of it could be like 7805's.

If you guys want I can get you the original Photoshop files I made the site from so you can slice and dice to get graphics. Here it is:

Have fun, and keep making the text smaller (use subSilver as a reference)

I purposely didn't go with the main site theme because I really don't like the main site theme. It's way too busy and flickers as you scroll because of the scan lines.

Nah, it's just a mockup. Made it in Mspaint.

[EnterTheHatrix]

That's how I'd have the main site..
Low bandwidth, fast loading, not busy, unique, and best of all... NO SCANLINES!

If you need any Flash, please ask me. I'm very skilled in Flash.

I would like a script (Java maybe) that picks a random image and displays it in the corner of the header.

Right now there's an image sitting there, it'd be cool if something new came up every time the page refreshed. Maybe with a link, too! (click on the image and see where it takes you)

Well, with some .htaccess tinkering and PHP code you can make a rolling image script.

Here's one I used to have in my sig:
http://bicostp.portablesofdoom.org/foru ... script.gif

^ Save the link as a .php document and open in Notepad to see the code. It still needs some .htaccess stuff to trick the client into treating it as an image.

<img src="http://bicostp.portablesofdoom.org/foru ... script.gif">

Every time you reload the page it spits out a different picture.

I doubt this will change the link, though.

I believe usbcd36 uses the same setup.

Ben: Another easy php job
replace

Code: Select all

<img border="0" src="../../images/rotate/snake.jpg" width="207" height="60">

with

Code: Select all

<?php
function is_image($image) {
  $t = preg_match('/\.png$|\.gif$|\.jpeg$|\.jpg$/i', $image);
  if ($t == true) return true;
  else return false;
}
$dir = 'images/rotate/';
$fp = opendir($dir);
while (($file = readdir($fp)) !== false) if (is_image($file)) $files[] = $file;
closedir($fp);
echo '<img border="0" src="'.$dir.$files[rand(0, count($files)-1)].'" width="207" height="60" />';
?>

I personally wouldn't recommend flash since it's high bandwidth, slow and isn't compatible with everyones computer..

[bicostp]

Yeah I'm sure all 5 people who don't have Flash would be really upsat that they couldn't see an image in the corner of Ben's site.

And with the mile-high bandwidth limit, there's nop problem loading a 150k file when the page loads.
